Let’s take a look at both sides of the official artwork. The front cover features The Shield Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose as Kurt replaces Roman Reigns on the original event poster.

The back captures a moment that was just “too sweet” and reveals an extra planned for the DVD.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS

Kurt Angle returns to the ring to team with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose against The Miz, Sheamus, Cesaro, Kane and Braun Strowman. The Empress of Tomorrow finally arrives as the undefeated Asuka makes her explosive WWE debut versus Emma.

I liked how the Asuka/Emma match was booked, Empress of Tomorrow taking bumps. Both competitors looked strong in the outcome and more so on the following night on RAW. Asuka gets to be dominant without being dominating.

It’s great seeing Alicia Fox getting some love and making the RAW women division more interesting.

I actually hated that. Asuka wasn’t dominant at all. Her debut match and she goes 50/50 with Emma, who hasn’t meant anything in years. Not the way for casual fans who don’t watch NXT to care for her. Going 50/50 with a women’s midcarder, two nights in a row no less, just makes Asuka seem like just another wrestler on the roster.

Hopefully Asuka will earn the respect of casual fans by putting on stellar performances in order to stand out apart from powerhouses Strowman, Lesnar, and Goldberg. WWE may be trying to play safe with Asuka, not wanting to push her too fast only to flounder after plowing through at least half the roster. You got me thinking, now I want to see where she goes.

For a PPV that was force-ably changed, they overall did a great job. I would have preferred Angle’s comeback match to be at the Rumble or Mania, but WWE has always been huge on delivering what was advertised. In this case, they could not do so. Therefore, they gave fans much more than what they bargained for.

My only complaint about the cover is that Angle’s picture looks like it’s from 2000 or something. Am I wrong? A recent picture of the three of them in the Shield gear would have been great.

I wonder where the whole Shield reunion idea is going to go now that Reigns is on the shelf. Maybe this will give more spotlight to Rollins and Ambrose and unintentionally give Reigns a break to fresh up in the minds of the fans.
